8:36 pm - crazy little thing called...
|
love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. it does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. love never fails.
-1 corinthians 13 4-8

Artist Lyrics: Watermark
Song Lyrics: More Than You'll Ever Know
Something brought you to my mind today
I thought about the funny ways
you make me laugh
And yet I feel like it's ok to cry with you
Something about just being with you
When I leave I feel like I've been with God
and that's the way it ought to be, yeah
Chorus:
Cause you've been more than a friend to me
you fight off my enemies
cause you have spoken the truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life
more than you'll ever know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, more than you'll ever know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You had faith
when I had none
You prayed God would bring me a brand new song
When I didn't think I could find the strength to sing
and all the while I've been hoping that I'll
do the kind of praying for you that you've done for me
and that's the way it ought to be, yeah
Chorus
You have carried me
You have taken upon a burden
that wasn't your own, yeah
may that blessing return to you
A hundredfold
oh oh yeah, a hundredfold
Chorus:
Cause you've been more than a friend to me
you fight off my enemies
cause you have spoken the truth over my life
And you'll never know what it means to me
just to know you've been on your knees for me
Oh, you have blessed my life
more than you'll ever know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, more than you'll ever know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah
More than you'll ever know, yeah, yeah, yeah
More than you'll ever know.

1:18 pm - things i don't understand...
|
why i feel like crying my eyes out today...
how he can look at me and say i'm perfect and just right, when i feel the furthest from that...
why me knowing exactly what i want to do when i graduate is so important to my mom...
why Christ suffered and died for someone like me who often forgets how amazing grace is...

most people give things up for lent. i decided to take something up. i've found that it's not the things in my life that hinder my relationship with God, but it's the things not in my life that do that...
i'm at a weird place in my life right now. someplace i thought i wouldn't be, quite honestly. i've recently started dating someone and i struggle with the fact that a guy could actually like me enough to want to be in a relationship with me. and i can't understand how he can be so nice to me and patient. i feel like i'm so new to all this and don't know a thing. the girls on my floor are like...guys like mystery...don't make yourself too available...blah blah blah...but i don't understand...they should offer a course about relationships for people like me :(
well...better get ready for class...maybe the sooner i get ready, the sooner class will end and spring break will begin :)

5:11 pm - think about these lyrics...
|
this song is called "used to be"...it's a cover done by one of my favorite bands lost and found...
Superman was killed in Dallas
And there's no love left in the Palace
And someone took the Beatle's lead guitar
Have another Chevis Regal
You're twelve years old and sex is legal
Your parents don't know where or who you are
It used to be the hero of the ball game
Took the time to shake the loser's hand
It used to be that failure only meant you didn't try
In a world where people gave a damn
Great big wars in little places
And look at all those frightened faces.
But don't come here we just ain't got the room
Love thy neighbor's wife and daughter
We cleanse our lives with holy water
Yet we don't need to bathe, we've got perfume.
It used to be a knight in shining armor
Didn't have to own a shiny car
Cause dignity and courage were the measure of a man
And not the drugs he needs to hide his scars
And can your teacher read?
And does your preacher pray?
And does your president have soul?
Have you heard a real good ethnic joke today?
A momma took her speed, daddy ran away
But you mustn't lose control
You see the kids are wild
We just can't tame them
But do we have the right to blame them
We fed 'em all our indecisions
And raped their minds with television
But what the heck, they're too young to feel pain
But I believe love will save tomorrow
And I believe the truth will make us free
And someone tried to say it and we nailed Him to a cross
I guess it's still the way it used to be

i've been feeling heavy lately...not weight heavy...though i know i am...but soul heavy. my soul feels like a ton of bricks. and it drags behind me, but strangly i'm not brought down to the point where i can't go anywhere...i'm just constantly reminded of our world and how desperate it is for a saviour...because i can't carry the bricks all the time...because someday i'll get tired...because i can never give the right answers...because i'm weak and need a Saviour myself...

3:22 pm - the future is coming so quickly...
|
today as i was driving back to school, i was thinking about how i'll be out in the "real world" soon and how that scares me half to death to move on, but i know i can't stay where i'm at...and as i was wrestling through my feelings, this song by sara groves comes on and it was just me at that very moment...so i thought i'd share it with ya'll...
Painting Pictures of Egypt
By Sara Groves
Verse 1: I don’t want to leave here
I don’t want to stay
It feels like pinching to me
Either way
And the places I long for the most
Are the places where I’ve been
They are calling out to me
Like a long lost friend
Verse 2: It’s not about losing faith
It’s not about trust
It’s all about comfortable
When you move so much
And the place I was wasn’t perfect
But I had found a place to live
And it wasn’t milk or honey
But then neither is this
Chorus: I’ve been painting pictures of Egypt
Leaving out what it lacks
And the future feels so hard
And I want to go back
But the places they used to fit me
Cannot hold the things I’ve learned
Those roads were closed off to me
While my back was turned
Verse 3: The past is so tangible
I know it by heart
Familiar things are never easy
To discard
I was dying for some freedom
But now I hesitate to go
I am caught between the Promise
And the things I know
Chorus
Bridge: If it comes to quick
I may not appreciate it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
And if it comes to quick
I may not recognise it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?

12:34 am - 2 weeks and a semester...
|
till i graduate...isn't that scary? things have been crazy busy...being an RA and being a senior...i love it, but AH!
i've been feeling great big burdens lately. it's weird...like, i feel burdened for people, but just recently my heart has been in a constant state of pain for the things that happen in other people's lives...it's hard...it makes me feel helpless.
i can never figure out why i even have this thing...i generally have nothing to say and i update once a year.
things i'm thankful for: mom, dad, mike, claire, lydia, my grandparents and other relatives, my friends...but especially sarahreid for giving me courage and confidence (it sounds corny, but ah well), for my RA staff, laughter, food on the table, music, love, Creation, smiles, daisies, my floor, school, howie's life, break, books that make you a better person, but most importantly a God who makes me a better person...
i'm sure the list could go forever because each day i see new things that i'm thankful for...
i wanna go back to the basics. love.
current mood:  peaceful
current music: dar-the babysitter's here
